Another of the five major basilicas of Auvergne, Basilica of Notre-Dame du Port was founded by the bishop of Clermont, Saint Avitus, during the 6th century and was rebuilt in the 11th or 12th centuries after being burned down by the Normans. It is built from arkose sandstone and the building is said to have perfect harmony resulting from the "Golden Ratio" architecture. You can attend mass on Sunday and some weekdays and view some of the finest capitals in Auvergne that depict scenes from the Bible and Psychomachia of Prudentius. Use our Clermont-Ferrand vacation route planner to visit Basilica of Notre-Dame du Port on your trip to Clermont-Ferrand, and learn what else travelers and our writers recommend seeing nearby.

Overshadowed by the fame of the Cathedral, this church hidden street of the Port is worth a visit. Fine example of Romanesque art, with a beautiful crypt, this church is relaxing and worth at the architectural level.

Very nice church a little below the streets of the port. This strongly shopping street a few years ago became sad with all of its shops closed. The Basilica is yet worth to commit. Very well restored is different from the main official buildings by its limestone. Outside is a beautiful architectural wealth and inside is superb sobriety.
